Sanitary Sewer Master Plan

About

The Sanitary Sewer Program was arrived at in conjunction with the Environmental Impact Report for the expansion of the Water Pollution Control Facility. The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) required identification of those areas to receive sanitary sewer extensions for which treatment capacity was being designed. A similar undertaking, known as the Facilities Plan, had been conducted when the treatment facility was first constructed in 1973. Questionnaires were mailed out to all residents inquiring into septic system problems. An extension program, also known as the Strategic Plan, was then developed which has been only partially completed. That plan was then modified based upon input from the department’s of Health, Public Works and Engineering.
